Abstract
Disclosed embodiments relate to a combination axial fan and LED lighting system configured to fit into the footprint of a standard ceiling tile. Disclosed embodiments further include ceiling tiles with a built-in fan and/or LED lighting. The disclosed systems may include one or more UV-C light sources which irradiate contaminants as air flows through the UV-C unit. The UV-C unit is mounted on either a universal mounting mechanism or a mobile support unit to provide mobility to the UV-C unit.
Claims20
A mobile air purifying device, comprising:
- a UV-C unit having at least a vent and a fan portion;
- an enclosure to the UV-C unit wherein the UV-C unit defines at least an airway between the fan portion and the vent;
- a fan positioned in the fan portion adapted to guide air to the UV-C airway;
- a UV light source mounted in the UV-C airway, wherein the UV light source is a UV-C light source emitting light having a wavelength between 200 and 280 nanometers directed into the UV-C airway;
- an air diversion mechanism positioned in the UV-C airway, wherein the air diversion mechanism is configured to direct air guided by the fan to a UV-C kill chamber housing the UV light source;
- a baffle is positioned in the UV-C kill chamber to act as a barrier preventing light emitted from the UV light source from exiting the air purifying device;
- the enclosure including a mount to affix the UV-C unit to a frame having a rigid support;
- and
- a base affixed to the frame.

A mobile air purifying device comprising:
- a panel configured to fit into an enclosure wherein the panel includes a housing portion, a fan portion and a vent portion;
- a housing portion of the panel including a UV-C kill chamber;
- a fan positioned in the fan portion of the panel, wherein said fan directs air into a fan chamber, UV-C kill chamber and through the vent portion;
- a UV-C light fixture positioned within the UV-C kill chamber wherein the UV-C light fixture emits light in the spectrum to kill viruses within the UV-C kill chamber;
- a light protection plate positioned in proximity to an exit of the kill chamber at the vent to prohibit the UV light emitted from the UV-C light source from exiting the kill chamber;
- a mount affixed to the enclosure of the panel, the mount configured to attach to a mobile support unit;
- and
- a base affixed to the mobile support unit wherein the base includes a plurality of locking wheels, whereby the plurality of wheels can be locked in a first position and permitted to rotate in a second position.
